1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundNeurovascular coupling is a fundamental aspect of brain function by regulating cerebral blood flow in response to regional neuronal activity. Increasing evidence suggest neurovascular decoupling occurs early in the progression of Alzheimer disease (AD), potentially reflecting early vascular damage. Therefore, understanding the relationship between neurovascular coupling and established vascular risk factors for AD is essential to gain deeper insights into the vascular mechanisms underlying AD.

methodsThis cross-sectional observational study investigated the association between neurovascular coupling and vascular risk factors for AD, specifically small vessel disease magnetic resonance imaging markers, cardiovascular risk factors, and the apolipoprotein E genotype. The cohort included 119 participants diagnosed with subjective cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment, and AD-related dementia, as well as individuals without cognitive complaints. Neurovascular coupling was measured by blood-oxygen-level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging amplitude in response to visual stimulation.

resultsOur findings revealed that decreased neurovascular coupling is linked to structural brain changes typically seen in small vessel disease; specifically we found an association between neurovascular coupling and white matter hyperintensities load (

conclusionsThis raises the suggestion that a decreased neurovascular coupling in the disease process of AD is related to comorbid small vessel disease.
